Open access
In the literature, it is seen that has been used the data mining methods frequently for the analysis of the stock market and stocks. The aim in here is to provide making the most rational choice and increasing return by reducing human intervention to a minimum level with the creating the algorithmic process structure. In this study, stocks are classified basis of financial indicators derived from the financial statements of the companies.
